[Hackage] #672: 'cabal init' command should allow for multiple entries in the Category field
#672: 'cabal init' command should allow for multiple entries in the Category field ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: byorgey | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: minor | Keywords: init, categories Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The .cabal format allows multiple categories (e.g. Data, Network, Math, etc.) to be listed in the Category field, but the 'cabal init' interactive mode only lets the user choose a single category. It would be nice to allow the user to choose multiple categories. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/672 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

But it's definitely worth having a discussion on what style we want to encourage, since that's part of the goal of cabal init. If we want to encourage everyone to have just one category, then marking this "won't fix" is fine by me. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/672#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
